In this section, you apply changes to the operating system
kernel and start the system. The steps in this section do modify
your system software. However, this section does not complete the
modification task. To apply the factory SLT to the system: From
the console, mount the factory supplied System Load
Tape (SLT) and put the tape drive online. Wait until a message displays on the system console verifying
that the tape mounted. If you are using the AutoRestart product and AUTOBOOT
is enabled, turn it off so the system won't automatically reboot
from the primary boot path. :RUN BLDDUMP.HP36375.TELESUP blddump>AUTOBOOT OFF blddump>EXIT
|
If your system is up, shut it down now. The system
is already down if you are performing a new install. Reset the system after the last shutdown message
(SHUT6). If you have
an HP 3000 Series 99x, connect to the service processor before you
can restart the system. Type the following: Enter Y
to HARD BOOT
the computer system. Do not respond to the question: Press any key within 10 seconds to cancel boot with this configuration.

There are 5 to 10 minutes of system activity, then the Processor
Dependent Code (PDC) screen displays. For all other systems, enter the following commands
to reset the system: If the system does not respond to the CTRL-B
entry within ten seconds, press the reset button, key switch, or
on/off switch as appropriate for your system. The system will halt,
and then restart automatically. Enter Y to confirm restarting
the system.
Boot the system from the alternate boot path. Boot messages
vary depending on the system model. If you have AUTOBOOT
enabled, follow the instructions on the screen and strike any key
within 10 seconds. If you do not override AUTOBOOT,
the system boots from the primary boot path. If your system does
boot from the primary boot path, return to Step 3 and reset the
system with the CTRL-B and RS
commands. If your system prompts, Boot from primary boot path?,
enter N. When the system prompts, Boot from alternate boot path?,
enter Y. If your system prompts to enter the boot path, enter
the alternate boot path. For Model 9x8LX, 9x8RX, or 9x9KS systems, type BO ALT at
the PDC screen to boot from the alternate boot path.
Enter Y
to the Interact with IPL? prompt,
if it appears on your screen. The system boots from the alternate source (tape). After some
tape activity, the ISL prompt displays.
If this is a new system, check FASTSIZE
value. ISL>DISPLAY Fastsize value is 0000000n . . .
|
If the value n is F, go to Step
7. If the value n is not F: Change it
to F. Return to Step 4 and reset the system to set the
new FASTSIZE
value.
If you are performing an Update, go to Step 8. If you are performing an Install, go to Step 9.
Update TasksUpdate the system with the factory SLT. Go to Step 10.

installation. Confirm the date and time. If the date and time displayed are not correct, enter N,
and enter the correct date and time. If you do not respond within
15 seconds, the system continues. The install process displays an initialization message similar
to: MPE/iX launch facility Install x.nn.nn Copyright (c) Hewlett-Packard 1987 Install -- MPE/iX Disk Image Builder -- version 1.0 Initialize_genesis - Version: <<870204.1552>> TUE, APR 19, 1994, 10:20:03 AM (y/n)? Y/N [TMUX_DAM] n n n n Initialize memory manager completed. Begin ...

The update and install processes display startup and initialization messages. Until all the
files are restored, monitor the process from the console and note
any errors that are reported. The update or install process takes
about 20-40 minutes. If you receive an error message refer to Appendix H “Error Messages and Warnings” and Appendix C “Managing Disk Space” Boot the system from the primary boot path. Boot messages
vary depending on the system model. If you have AUTOBOOT
enabled, follow the instructions on the screen and strike any key
within 10 seconds. If your system prompts to enter the boot path, enter
the primary boot path. For Model 9x8LX, 9x8RX, or 9x9KS systems, type BO
at the PDC screen to boot from the primary boot path. If your system prompts, Boot from primary boot path?,
enter Y.
Enter Y
to the Interact with IPL?
prompt, if it appears on your screen. The system boots from disk. After some activity the ISL
prompt displays.
Applying the SLT completed.
